The performance of "The First Soughter Media" was very successful. My mother liked it very much. The atmosphere on the scene was also very good. Zhu Yijun squinted his eyes and looked at the stage, and the smile on his face never stopped. He had arrangements for this opera troupe, but not a simple opera troupe.

When I watched the show and had lunch, the family was having fun, and the laughter in Cining Palace never stopped.

After lunch, everyone chatted for a while, and Zhu Yijun asked someone to send Wu Qing's family back. After all, today is the Chinese New Year, so it is not appropriate to stay here. In the afternoon, it was time for activities in the palace, and the empresses from various palaces also came.

The play arranged in the afternoon was "The Lock of the Case". This kind of play is not worth mentioning in this era, and it is very correct.

To help the danger and help the needy, the whole drama has a very good tone. The key is that this is a woman's drama, which is the story of two women. It is suitable for my mother to show this drama, which is the favorite of middle-aged and elderly women.

Although my mother is only twenty-eight years old, her mentality has long been a middle-aged and elderly woman. Of course, this is also related to the lifespan of people in this era.

At the age of thirty, you will not be confused by forty, you will know the destiny of heaven at fifty, you will be obedient to the ears of sixty, and you will be rare in the age of seventy. In this era, many people die in their forties, but those who die in their fifty are not considered premature death. When they die at the age of sixty, they will be considered a joyful and joyful death.

If the average life expectancy is calculated, it is probably in his thirties. People in this era are precocious because they live short.

Sure enough, "The Lock" in the afternoon was very popular. Both my mother and Queen Mother Chen liked it very much, and they were unanimously loved by the concubines. The vigil in the evening went smoothly, and everyone was having fun and chatting happily.

From the New Year to the Lantern Festival, Zhu Yijun has lived the happiest life since he came to this world.

There is no need to study, no need to go to school, no need to read memorials all day, and no intrigue.

As life passed day by day, Zhu Yijun's mood became better. The 16th day of New Year opened a yamen to work, and Zhu Yijun also held a grand dynasty meeting. However, the grand dynasty meeting was very good, and no one came out to raise trouble at this time.

It was not until the first month that the yamen gradually got on track, and Zhu Yijun also followed suit. In addition to exercising every day, Zhu Yijun also made a New Year plan for himself.

Start with yourself first, and you can promote it to the court step by step.

As soon as the first month of the year came, a big thing happened to the court. Zhang Juzheng's inspection of the capital began. At the same time, Zhang Juzheng submitted a memorial, which shocked the entire Ming Dynasty officialdom.

The theme of Zhang Juzheng's memorial is very clear, which is "respecting sovereignty, secting officials' duties, believing in rewards and punishments, and making orders. Be pragmatic in everything, and do not make false statements!" To put it bluntly, it means one thing, that is, assessing officials.

After the memorial, Zhang Juzheng wrote in detail what he was going to do, which is the famous method of taking the exam.

As soon as the test was completed, the officialdom was shocked, and countless memorials flew to the palace, and at most they were pulled by a car. Zhu Yijun was too lazy to read it, so he asked the Silijian to select these memorials and burn them directly.

Zhu Yijun didn't want to listen to or watch the reason for opposing the exam.

There are many people who can talk about it in this world, but not many people who can do things. There will be a verbal party in the Ming Dynasty, which is the famous Donglin Party. These people will do nothing except verbal party.

The slogans were shouting loudly, but they still could not hide their dirty nature.

Zhang Juzheng didn't like them, and Zhu Yijun didn't like them even more. Although their slogans were beautifully packaged, they were just forming cliques for personal gain, and they were the spokesperson for the big landlords, merchants and bureaucrats.

The slogans of the Donglin Party are: be honest and dedicated to the public, revitalize the administration, open up the way of speech, eliminate the accumulated traits of the court and the country, etc.

It sounds very high-end, but it can only be called out. No one proposed how to do it specifically. Zhang Juzheng's examination method is the way to do these things. The Donglin Party is just a joke. Later generations have emphasized "empty talk will ruin the country, and hard work will help the country."

The Donglin Party was not just empty talk. They influenced public opinion and interfered with the government's governance. In Zhu Yijun's view, they were the rioters that caused trouble to the country and the government. Why didn't Wei Zhongxian kill all of them? If they killed them all, they would not have perished so early.

Of course, the Donglin Party is not not doing anything. They did it and did it very well.

The Donglin Party tried its best to oppose the emperor's dispatch of mine prisoners, and the tax sent to various places to carry out crazy plunder and impose intensive taxes. It advocated that it attaches importance to agriculture, industry and commerce, and demanded that it benefit the business and the people, reduce taxes, reclaim land and farmland, and builds water conservancy. It opposed the common frauds in the imperial examinations, and advocated that the recruitment of scholars is not divided into ranks, and that it would be recruited according to personal talents and intelligence.

They all sound quite high-end, but Zhu Yijun knows that their most practical proposals have always been paying taxes.

The mining tax, the industrial and commercial tax, and the agricultural tax are reduced or exempted. Of course, when it really doesn't work, it is okay to add agricultural tax, but the mining tax and commercial tax cannot be increased. The mining tax and industrial tax are controlled by officials and gentry, and they are all rich but don't even want to pay the tax.

The agricultural tax, these people are tax-free, and even if they are levied, they cannot be levied on their heads. They can only be self-cultivated farmers. In the end, refugees are everywhere, and when disasters occur, wars are everywhere, and finally a large-scale peasant uprising in the late Ming Dynasty was brewed.

As for the later development of water conservancy and land reclamation and farming, they are all fun.

It is a good thing to build water conservancy, but the fields are all theirs, and they do not pay taxes, and then let the court build water conservancy to irrigate their fields. The court does not have taxes, so how can it build water conservancy?

To put it nicely, the cultivated fields are not enough for them to reclaim. They can make as much profit as they reclaim.

What is the following? No matter how high or low a student is, they will be recruited according to their personal talent. On the one hand, this statement is to win people's hearts, and on the other hand, it is to seek benefits for themselves. According to personal talent and admission, who has talent? It is not their final say.

Looking at the tall slogans, they actually cover up their shameful purpose.

When Wanli died and through the three major cases, their efforts were finally realized, abolishing the mining tax and reducing the commercial tax and tariffs. However, Emperor Taichang died after only one month of his life, and they didn't have time to do more.

Emperor Tianqi, who came up, ignored these verbal parties, but appointed Wei Zhongxian to establish a eunuch party, that is, those who were beaten down in the three major cases.

However, the Donglin Party was supported by the Jiangnan Group and had a deep foundation. After Emperor Tianqi's death, they rose up again, or they fooled Emperor Chongzhen. The tax burden of overseas trade tax, mining tax, salt tax, tea tax and other taxes were abolished or reduced.

If there is any problem, he would take care of Emperor Chongzhen's inner treasury and would impose an agricultural tax. In the end, the entire country's economic system was disrupted. Emperor Chongzhen was so poor that he had to sell his pants. Before the Ming Dynasty fell, Emperor Chongzhen remembered his elder brother's words and Wei Zhongxian.
